How to Make Apple And Celery Salad

In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced apples, sliced celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
If using, stir in the chopped nuts.
Cover and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the apples to slightly soften. (Chilling time is in addition to prep time)
Serve the chilled apple and celery salad on a bed of lettuce leaves or mixed greens.
